Art & Bali 2025 launches next week: an invitation to shape a growing ecosystem

Set out to ‘reinterpret the concept of an art fair’, Art & Bali will unveil its inaugural edition in just under a week. The island’s first international art fair will open from 12-14 September in Nuanu Creative City, with a full lineup of 17 galleries now announced.

In an earlier ArtsHub interview with Fair Director Kelsang Dolma, she said Art & Bali’s ambition is focused on ‘bringing the international art community to Bali to engage in constructive dialogues’ that supports local contemporary practice.
